Nested Proofs

Yo dawg, I heard you like conditional proofs, so I got you conditional proofs for your conditional proofs.

Takeaway Points

You can nest conditional proofs or proofs by contradiction with each other or themselves. For example, if you are in the middle of a conditional proof and believe that a proof by contradiction would be useful to advance to your next step, you may begin a proof by contradiction within the conditional proof.

For the proof within a proof, indent the steps even further.

As before, you cannot use lines from closed proofs.

You can use any line from an open proof, regardless of the level. So if you are working on a proof by contradiction within a conditional proof, any lines you have in the conditional proof are fair game.

You may continue to nest proofs as much as you want as long as you follow the above rules.
